Veal Escalope And Veggies.

Hello everybody.

Have you noticed that restaurants these days are becoming increasingly expensive?

Well after a simple overrated lunch last Friday in Jerash I decided to compensate this week, since it’s only me and hubby are home for lunch I did these two lovely restaurant style dishes.Delicious,clean, elegant and with minimum cost.

Veal escalopes,baked potatoes with sour cream, grilled peppers and broccoli with lemon garlic sauce and a dish of baba ghanouj for each.

Enjoy your weekend lovely people.

elegant lunch for two.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas.

Hello everybody.

Was going through recipes looking for something different to do with chicken breasts cause all ones I did are repeated when I saw this one, didn’t have tortilla bread through but I have some thin Arabic shrak,worked well enough cause result was delicious.

Guess the sour taste gave the sauce a sharp nice flavor. Believe me this is a good recommended one.

Ingredients and method :

# 1 shredded chicken breast.
# 1 small onion diced.
# 2 chopped sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
# 3 tsp butter
# 3 tsp flour.
# 2 cups chicken broth.
# 1 cup sour cream (I mixed 1/2 labaneh and 1/2 yogurt)
# 1 chili green pepper crushed.
# grated cheese (used cheddar and mazorella or any kind you like)
# 10 soft tortilla bread or shrak.

# mix chicken, onions, sun-dried tomatoes and some of the cheese together.
# In a pan heat butter then add flour and mix well.
# slowly add chicken broth and mix well till it boils and thickens.
# leave to cool down then add sour cream and chili and mix well.
# stuff tortillas with chicken mix and roll.
# In a deep oven pan add a bit of the sauce then line up chicken rolls.
# add the rest of the sauce on top.
# sprinkle rest of cheese on top.
# bake in a medium heated oven for 20 minutes.
# roast top till golden.

Note: leave to cool a bit before serving to give it time to hold up.

highly recommended dish.

Veal with Mushroom Cream Sauce.

Hello everybody.

Back to normal routine after a long vacation, kids will want a good satisfying meal after school for sure.

My cousin posted this dish on my Facebook group last week and I promised to make it soon,though he made made it with chicken but today I used veal, but same other ingredients.

Turned out absolutely delicious,only guilty thing is that recipe contains fresh cream and butter,won’t be the same without them, though tastes great but I always try to avoid these fatty ingredients as much as possible. Guess once in a while won’t hurt don’t you think ?

Ingredients and method:

* Veal steaks.

* Fresh cream.

* Mushrooms.

* salt,pepper,all spice,ginger,garlic powder and oregano for seasoning.

* 1 maggi cube.

* mozzarella cheese.

* vegetables : carrots,courgettes,cherry tomatoes,sweet peppers, broccoli,corn and potatoes.

* Season veal with all mentioned and leave for 1 hour.

* saute veal with some butter on both sides till almost done.

* remove to another pan then saute sliced mushrooms till tender.

* add fresh cream and maggi cube and leave to simmer 10 minutes then pour over veal and leave all to simmer on low heat or in the the oven till done.

* add mozzarella cheese on top to melt before serving.

* bake veggies with a drizzle of oil in the oven.

* bake foiled potatoes and serve it with sour cream on the side.

* steam broccoli florets then cover them directly with iced water so as to keep the green color.

I don’t like to brag but it really looks and tastes better than any fine restaurant !!!!

hope you all try it,thank you Sa’ed for the recipe 🙂
